The Walter Van Beirendonck AW15 Collection Features Vinyl Tank Tops

— February 2, 2015 — Fashion
Opening the Walter Van Beirendonck AW15 show was a plastic tank top with orange block letters screaming, "Stop terrorizing our world." Featured during Paris Men's Fashion Week, the collection does not fall short of the extravagance shown from Walter Van Beirendonck. The Zoolander-inspired show features ridiculously good-looking models wearing protesting vinyl tank tops. Much like the CHANEL SS15 show, the 60s-inspired war mongering collections take a stance against the system. Swap the "Make fashion, not war" picket boards from the CHANEL show for "War explicit beauty" tank tops and you have the Walter Van Beirendonck AW15 show.

The creative designer is known for his boundary-pushing fashions. There has been an influx in faux-war inspired fashions for the year of 2015. Hippies can rejoice in 2015, as these fashions were made for them!
